Period Splendour at The Old Hospital

Rare and historic converted properties will be released at Higgins Homes' development, The Old Hospital, in Maidstone town centre, on 27th February 2010.

The apartments, set in a former Victoria hospital, are all individual and packed full of period features ranging from original flooring, wall panelling, dado and picture rails. With just 17 apartments available in this renowned building, these homes will represent a unique addition to the Kent property market.

The Grade II listed former Ophthalmic and Aural Hospital is being sensitively converted into a range of studios, one, two and three bedroom luxury apartments by Higgins Homes, the award winning house builder.

Jeremy Marcus, Sales and Marketing Director of Higgins Homes, comments: “The Old Hospital is a historic landmark in the centre of Maidstone, so we wanted to create a selection of properties which will allow a diverse range of people to live there. The main hospital building is being completely rennovated and we are preserving everything we can, from the spectacular colonnade gallery to the original cornicing. There is nothing quite like this on the market at the moment, so we are expecting these properties to sell very quickly.”

Set around a landscaped courtyard, 57 new homes are also being created on this central brownfield site behind the High Street, just off Church Street. These properties combine sleek contemporary glass panels and wooden panelling with period style stonework to reflect the historic buildings.
Each apartment is fitted with a contemporary kitchen from a leading designer, which incorporates a stainless steel oven and hob, an integrated fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer.

The historic market town of Maidstone is just 37 miles* from London and there are regular direct trains to London Victoria, which take under an hour.** Maidstone town centre has a range of restaurants, bars, cafés and an array of boutique and high street shops.

Prices at this unique development will be released on the 27th February 2010. To register your interest, please contact Higgins Homes on telephone: 01438 746 930 or visit: www.higginshomes.co.uk
